Do you think Pope Benedict XVI...?

Question

... is behind the times?

In recent statements, he has cancelled the annual Christmas pop concert at The Vatican last year and he believes that rock music is the instrument of Satan. He also dissapproved of a concert with Bob Dylan back in 1997!

I believe that unless this man gets into this millenium, the Catholic Church will lose parishioners.

Answer 1

heck yes i think he is... jaul paul II was such a good guy... he really set the bar high.. and this new pope isnt even coming close.

Answer 2

He is trying to stay runaway modernism in the church. If he doesn't succeed, then it won't be before long that you will not hear the name Jesus preached in the Catholic church anymore. The name Jesus is already banned in many protestant denominations, and the word sin and the name devil are curse words. The church, both Protestant and Catholic are in serious danger of losing their complete Christian heritage if things do not turn around soon. Already governments are lining up to persecute Christians. It won't be long before it will be a crime to preach in the streets. After that, the government will start closing churches and jailing pastors. It you don't think that it can happen, then read the history of the church in Nazi Germany and under communist rule in the former Soviet Union and her satellite states.

Answer 3

The guy is only doing what he thinks is his job, and that's handing out orders. What do you expect from an organisation where the members cannot vote for their leaders?

Answer 4

if the music glorifies Christ-then he shouldn't really have a problem with it. The Bible says, "Be in the world, but not of it."

Answer 5

He's just being a pope. that's what popes do. If you don't like it you don't have to be a Catholic and listen to him.
